I'm a little late to this but it's absolutely hilarious how transparent the Whistleblower/Transparency 'journalists' are in dismissing & attacking any whistleblower who cuts against their narratives (aka does not attack Dems).
OH MY GOD! The (highly-educated) woman who works in tech is a liberal? Well, this changes everything. She is wholly discredited now because....uhh reasons. The only 'correct' type of whistleblowers are the ones who support Donald Trump (unlike me, who does not support Trump).
Wow, someone potentially, maybe might profit from their leaks? Better ignore the substance then. It's important to personalize it.
And btw, Glem is DISGUSTED that anyone might make money off of leaks. He would never think to do such a thing.
So old I remember that 'Julian Assange's motives, including openly cheering for Trump, saying that he was dropping (misleading( docs for maximum impact, to make Clinton lose...all of that is completely irrelevant, as long as the documents are authentic.' That's different b/c....
And they all did the same thing with the Ukraine whistleblower when he came forward to say that the president was using his power to extort an ally. "Not a real whistleblower bc maybe their motive was political and they're not being thrown in jail." Just so transparent.
Finally, will leave you with Glem's rule for whistleblowers. Yet another 'guiding principle' from the world's biggest hypocrite.

On a day where the current president of the united states (age 79) walked out wit his grotesquely disfigured hand, bragged for the 10th time about taking his dementia test and did an Orwellian purge of Jan. 6th, what is this muppet focused on?
Of course, for the 150th time, how right he was about Joe Biden Old. This is basically mental illness.
This guy, after making Presidential Age/Cognitive Fitness the SOLE issue of the last presidency, has gone the past 2 years just completely ignoring Trump. Like a fucking caricature. Literally started a podcast to talk about 'anything but Trump.'
And after getting tons of pushback for his head-in-the-sand avoidance, he promised that he would 'gladly' call it out if it ever became an issue with Trump.
And......that was a lie. Never misses a chance to relive his glory days of Biden Old, as Trump's brain is completely gone and he has various unexplained health problems.
Had a great day in DC yesterday and crashed hard when I got home, so here are some of my thoughts on the PA-03 race.
1. The outcome was not really that surprising. I thought Rabb would probably win with a divided field. He got a little more of the vote share (44% to 'progressives' and 48% to the 'mods') than I expected but it was basically the same dynamic.
2. The turnout was just pathetic. 21% of eligible voters voted in the primary. Average voters were just not at all tuned in (and probably barely even knew there was an election).
Low turnout in a blue environment is the type of race the left/progressives THRIVE in.
3. Rabb way outspent the other candidates. They had the 'big money' advantage. His ads were everywhere. All over TV...you couldn't watch anything without seeing his ads towards the end of the race.
I also got tons of mailers for Rabb and maybe 1-2 combined for the other 2 candidates.
Just getting your name/face out there in a low turnout primary is a massive advantage.
Again, zero mention of the fact that Maine is the whitest state in the country. Alex doesn't want to mention it because it makes the state look bad and as a Real Salt of the Earth Mainer (who moved there a few years ago) he's extremely defensive about it.
Instead it's 'authenticity and realness'...with no mention that the 'authenticity' was completely manufactured by DC Consultants and turned in to a very, very well funded (again by outside money) ad campaign creating the 'realness.'
That doesn't mesh with The Narrative.
The attention economy stuff is spot on but also zero mention that the Pod Save America guys, who helped him moved past it, were very obviously a part of the campaign push.
Anyway, it's so great to have the same horse race journalism slop that emanates from every soulless DC politico journo hack, but on a local level.
Every single post on this lady's timeline is just "wahhh old people. wahhhh The Establishment"
So sick of this lady who turned an organization that was supposed to 'inspire' people to run for office (an objectively good thing) into yet another org that focuses on nothing but factional/internescant anti-Dem struggles.
See this shit is what has been so offensive about this primary; it's been non-stop dismissiveness and gaslighting from people like Jon over very real concerns.
"oh it's just what the algorithm throws in our faces."
Fuck off. It's his own words. And more importantly, his own actions.
He is lying about the Nazi tattoo. Everyone knows it. His supporters know it. Jon knows it. He's changed his story multiple times and is clearly full of shit.
Just because the people of (the white) state of Maine don't care, doesn't mean we have to be cool with it.
There has not even been an acknowledgement that (Jewish) people could actually have concerns or hang ups with a guy having a Nazi tattoo AS HE RAN FOR SENATE, just snide dismissal like this.
And 'oh you think he's literally a Nazi? Well he wore an antifa shirt once, so checkmate'
All the other stuff is bad too. There's no actual proof from his behavior that he has changed. He was doing edgelord trolling stuff calling people 'f*gs' like 5 years ago. He used 'fucking r*tarded' this past month lol.
And all of that has been waved away with disingenuous spin or even worse "The Establishment is trying to ruin me" conspiratorial bullshit.
This part of the article was extremely hilarious to me because if you remember Political Expert Astead Herndon (whose whole shtick is 'I know better than you partisans' and who hosted a podcast dedicated to explaining to people why things were happening) definitively stated that Trump's embarrassing meeting with Zelenskyy would actually BE GOOD politically for him.
And not only was that comically wrong but here you have multiple TRUMP VOTERS saying it was what very specifically made them regret voting for Trump lol.
It is truly amazing how the political expert class gets paid for their opinions for a living and for many of them, their analysis is so bad that you could pick some random fucko from the internet and they would get it more right than them.
Like, imagine being this bad and wrong at your job...the thing you're paid to be an expert in- and still being employed. Only in Political Media, baby!
